SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, {1894 to 1896. {1896 to 1898. {1900 to 1902. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. McKinley, Hanna, Roosevelt, and Payne are a quartette of names that will occupy conspicuous places at the head of the black-list of the Afro-American political historian of the future. Like young sparrows with mouths wide open swallowing a poisoned worm, do many of our confreres stand silently by while their people are being murdered politically. The location of the almost criminal act is the south, and the first and second scenes of the too real tragedy have been enacted in Alabama and North Carolina respectively. The recent barring out of the republican party of Alabama and North Carolina on a basis of democratic disfranchisement, of Afro-American republicans is the result of plans and work of McKinley, Hanna and Roosevelt. The present administration and national republican committee are underneath and back of it, or it would never have been done. What are you going to do about it? What do our as-a-rule close-observing and outspoken friends and confreres of the Boston Guardian, Martinsburg Pioneer Press, Philadelphia Tribune and Dallas Express have to say anent the administration and national republican committee's responsibility for the action of "lily-white" republicans of North Carolina and Alabama, as well as the treatment accorded Afro-Americans by the republican majority in the recent congress? Speak up, gentlemen. Gov. Geo. K. Nash and Hon. J. C. Morris, state commissioner of railroads and telegraphs, are GENTLEMEN and republicans we are proud of (See the correspondence on Page 1). This we believe is true of every other loyal member of the race in Ohio who knows these two state officials' activity in our behalf whenever called upon and who can appreciate true friends of the race. Such men as the governor and commissioner make us proud of the grand old state of Ohio, and if they only controlled the republican party of the state we could be equally proud of it, as we used to be. The present party leadership needs such men, and badly, too. These are times when the Negro politician and paper wearing a white politician's political collar had better begin to get ready to go way back, sit down and keep still, because there will be no place left for them. The loyal, manly and intelligent Afro-American will now forge to the front and direct the political cutting and slashing of such leadership as we have called attention to—a stench in the nostrils of every decent self-respecting and honorable republican, black or white, in the country. Let our newspapers, the true race advocates we mean, tell the truth, explain the situation to their thousands of readers, especially those here in the north, and thus help to "make Rome howl" between now and 1905. It is absolutely necessary. Do your clear duty! When approached last week by a reporter of a local daily newspaper and asked for his opinion on the southern political situation, Senator Hanna, chairman of the national republican committee, on the eve of a visit to President Roosevelt, called there by the latter for a conference, replied that he had nothing to say. Postmaster General Payne, of Roosevelt's cabinet and vice-chairman of the national republican committee, is notoriously favorable, to such action as was recently taken by the "lily-white" republican organizations of Alabama and North Carolina, because it will materially assist him to carry out his long cherished and pet scheme of cutting down the south's representation in the next national republican convention, and thus further eliminate even a possibility of the southern Afro-American's ever regaining a prominent foothold or part in the republican politics of that section. On all this President Roosevelt looks with favor or it would not be done. The same is true of Hanna. And yet there are intelligent Afro-American editors north and south who REFUSE to see this and say so. Without the favor of Senator Hanna (who, by the way, hasn't had a word to say in denunciation or condemnation of the action of the "lily-white" republicans(?) of Alabama and North Carolina) and his national republican(?) committee, those alleged republicans of the states mentioned would not have dared to take the action they have—barring from the party Afro-American republicans disfranchised by democrats. How many of our people have been shot down like dogs in their tracks in the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1902. south since reconstruction days, simply because they tried to vote a republican ticket and elect some of these same white scalawags to office who have now turned upon them, adding insult to the democratic disfranchisement injury they doubtless aided and abetted? There are Afro-Americans in Cleveland and Ohio who will in November prove to their outraged brethren in the south that they do not overlook, forget and forgive all the time, and they won't throw off true republicanism either in doing it. Hanna and Roosevelt do not stand for the Lincoln, Grant and Sumner kind of republicanism by a "jug full." Let the loyal (to the race first) black republican of Ohio and the north kill and cripple politically in November. Help wipe off the face of the earth the present rotten leadership of our party—the kind that forsakes and vitally injures the battle-scarred Afro-American republican of the south in his deepest distress (disfranchisement); that appoints democrats to office in the south; that appoints a democrat (Capers, of South Carolina,) a member of the national republican committee, to head off the election of an Afro-American (Deas) by the state committee of South Carolina; that appoints a murderer and lyncher, internal revenue collector of South Carolina, and when Afro-Americans defeat his confirmation in the United, States senate, tells the mobocrat it is sorry it was not successful in securing his confirmation; the kind that prevented a republican congress from favorably considering anything of value of vital interest to the race; that has the same body place a premium upon democratic disfranchisement by passing the reapportionment bill and thus INCREASING the congress representation of several southern states that had adopted disfranchisement amendments to their constitutions—this, too, in defiance of a mandatory provision of the United States constitution, which calls for a DECREASE of the same; that had a republican congress re-enact the Chinese exclusion act barring Afro-Americans from testifying as witnesses in certain cases in United States courts; that—O, 'pshaw! wny enumerate further. Let our newspapers tell the people; explain all to them, and advise them to stay in the ranks of the republican party, but kill and cripple politically on election day, as Hanna and his republican followers have done in recent years here in Cleveland when they assisted in the election of Mayor John Farley and Mayor Tom L. Johnson, both democrats—and others. Sound the alarm and carry the news. Black scullions with a white politician's collar, scat!!!! Go away back and make room for MEN of the race and loyal WOMEN. ROBBED OF ALL POLITICAL RIGHTS. The encouragement given the "lily white" republicans of the south by McKinley, Hanna and Roosevelt in the shape of federal offices and the consequent turning down of loyal and veteran black and white republicans of that section is beginning to bear fruit. Those in Alabama have captured the party organization there and adopted a resolution which will exclude from the republican primaries of that state all the Afro-Americans disfranchised under the new constitution of Alabama, the work of democrats. The resolution in question reads as follows: Resolved, That only those shall be recognized or be permitted to participate in state and county conventions and be at meetings, who are duly qualified voters under the new constitution of Alabama. A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala., states that "the effect" of the above resolution "will be to make the republican party of Alabama a white man's party, as under the new constitution of the state the Negroes are practically all disfranchised." The democrats of that state have disfranchised the Afro-American and the "lily white" republicans backed by McKinley, Hanna and Rooseveit disfranchised them as far as participating in party work (primaries, conventions, even meetings, etc.) are concerned. We expect next to hear from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The national republican committee could and would afford our people of Alabama relief from the action of that "lily white" republican state committee were it not for the fact that Hanna and Posmaster General Payne, chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the national committee, as well as President Roosevelt, are at the back of and have given their encouragement to the very thing complained of. We cannot find words to express our indignation and contempt, and trust that every Afro-American voter in the north will study this and kindred matters with a view to taking such political stand in local, state and federal elections as the condition warrants. Our newspapers and leaders should make the situation clear to their constituency as soon as possible and sound a continuous alarm. As between Senator Mason and Congressman Hopkins, for United States senator from Illinois, there ought not to be any question in the minds of Afro-Americans of that state. In congress the senator was always aggressively "for us," and Hopkins was always against us or passive—never aggressively for us. A New Complaint Against Baseball. New Orleans, La.—Complaint is made in Mississippi that the important work of picking the cotton crop is seriously interfered with by the baseball craze that has recently swept over the south, and that many Negroes who ought to be in the cottonfields are playing baseball. The craze is said to have reached such a stage that the planters would like to have baseball prohibited in cotton-picking season, so that the work would come first and fun afterward.

How the Boers Treated Colored People in the Transvaal-An Afro-American From the Congo Glves His Experience. Chicago, Ill.-An Afro-American who journeyed alone to the heart of Africa and afterward helped in the defense of Ladysmith was here recently. His name is Horatio Scott, and he hails from Oakland, Cal. His treatment in the Transvaal casts a side light on the Boer war from an uncommon standpoint. "I fought for the English," said he, "for the sake of my race. The Boers give the black man no rights save that of being flogged with a huge rhinoceros hide whip. This is so well recognized that on my arrival in Cape Colony in 1896 I was advised by every one not to try to enter the Transvaal at all. I had business up country, however, and went into the territory in the company of four Englishmen. The Boer customs officials passed the white men through readily enough, but detained me without a word of explanation and without making an effort to inspect my bagage. "When I protested they put on my back the chalk mark used to check the other traveler's trunks and told me that a flogging would be the next answer to any objections on my part. That's the way the black man is treated all over the Dutch republics and that's why he aided the British in their fight with the Boers to a degree that is not appreciated throughout the world." Mr. Scott besides going through the siege of Ladysmith served with Col. Plumer in Matabele land. Successful Association: Successful Association.

No. 188 DECLINES NOMINATION. Speaker Henderson Refuses to Run for Congress Because He Does Not Agree With His Constituents on the Tariff Question. Dubuque, Ia., Sept. 17.—Speaker Henderson, finding that his views in respect to the treatment of trusts by reducing the tariff in whole or in part, are not in accord with the views of his party in Iowa, has declined to accept the nomination for congress, and has withdrawn from the race. The following letter was addressed to C. E. Albrook, chairman of the notification committee, Eldora, Ia., by Mr. Henderson: "My Dear Sir: I have never answered the kind notice communicated by you and your associates advising me of my nomination for the eleventh time, by acclamation, as the republican candidate for congress for the Third congressional district of Iowa. Reported conditions in the public mind in my district upon public policies, induced me to make this delay. Since my return to the district I have made a careful study as to the sentiment in the district and state and I believe there is no little sentiment, and a growing sentiment, among republicans, that I do not truly represent their views on the tariff question. Believing this condition to exist and knowing that I do not agree with many of my people that trusts, to which I am and have been opposed, can be cured or the people benefited by free trade, in whole or in part, I must decline to accept the nomination so generously and enthusiastically made. "I have devoted 20 of the best years of my life to the service of my people and my country and I have fought for what I believed to be best for the farmer, the laborer, and the business interests of this district and state. I am grateful for the devotion that has ever been accorded me and to the hour of my death I will hold in a grateful heart the memory of that devotion. I will give, later on, in some detail my views and convictions on our conditions and on public questions and will state my reasons why the republican party and its policies should continue in the confidence of the voters of the United States, and why the doctrines of the democracy should find no lodgment in the faith and teachings of the republican party." Speaker Henderson announced his withdrawal after a conference of several hours' duration with Chairman Glasser, of the congressional committee, and friends Tuesday afternoon. Speaker Henderson has been contemplating this action for two weeks, but had intimated nothing of it to friends until Monday. At yesterday's conference, his friends implored him not to take the action, but to no avail. Washington, Sept. 17. The dispatch announcing Speaker Henderson's declination of the congressional nomination caused a sensation in Washington. Very few public men are in Washington at this time, but all here expressed regret that the speaker had determined on the course announced in the Dubuque dispatch. Public men acknowledge there is a demand in sections of the west and northwest for a revision of the tariff along certain lines, notably in the cases of articles whose manufacture is controlled by the trusts. Their opinion is that Gen. Henderson's decision will make this issue more acute and suggested that the president is conferring at this time with leading senators from the east and west, presumably on the very question which has forced Henderson out of line with his party in Iowa. AN OFFENSIVE SPEECH. The French Minister of Marine Hurla a Defi at England, Italy and Germany. Paris, Sept. 17.—The needlessly offensive allusions to Italy, Germany and Great Britain made by M. Pelletan, the marine minister, in a speech at Ajaccio, Corsica, and Monday in a speech at Bizerta have caused considerable surprise here and are generally deprecated. The only explanation offered by Frenchmen is that M. Pelletan has forgotten that he is now a minister and that he has been speaking as a journalist. He said: "With Corsica and Toulon we can hold the open door between the two halves of the Mediterranean in spite of Malta and Gibraltar. Certainly I do not desire a conflict of peoples against England any more than against Italy, but as we do not know what others are doing it is a part of our duty to prepare for the holy war; for the French fatherland against its enemies, whoever they may be. Security hardly exists any more for the civilized world. At the end of the nineteenth century, after the defeat of France by the barbarianism of old Germany, we saw an offensive return of the law of brute force." Utah Democrats' Convention. Utah Democrats' Convention. Provo, Utah, Sept. 17.—The democratic state convention on Tuesday nominated Judge W. H. King, of Salt Lake, for congress, and Richard W. Young, judge of the supreme bench in the Philippines, for justice of the supreme court. It adopted a platform in which trusts and beet sugar were prominent figures. The platform also extended the sympathy of the democratic party of Utah to Mrs. McKinley. No mention was made in the platform either of Mr. Bryan or of 16 to 1, but the Kankas City platform was endorsed and the cheering which greeted the mention of Bryan's name showed the feeling of the convention toward him. Dan Patch Failed Again. Dan Patch Failed Again. New York, Sept. 17.—The great stallion Dan Patch had every circumstance in his favor in his effort to defeat old Father. Time and win the world's pacing record at the Empire track yesterday, but he did not do so. Accompanied by a running mate, the famous son of Joe Patchen came out and paced a preliminary mile in 2:11. In his first effort he went to the quarter in $30\frac{1}{4}$ seconds and then broke and came back. In his second effort he went to the half in 1:01, bat tired badly and came home all out in $2:02\frac{1}{2}$. Arrested on a Serious Charge. New York, Sept. 17.—George G. Tyson, vice president of the firm of Tyson & Camp, who own news stands in the Waldorf-Astoria, Plaza, Netherlands, Fifth Avenue, Savoy, Imperial and other leading hotels, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant sworn out by internal revenue officials charging the firm with having refilled imported cigar boxes with cheap cigars known to the trade as "stuffers." Mr. Tyson was arraigned before United States Commissioner Hitchcock, where he pleaded not guilty, and furnished $2,000 bail. APPLICATION FOR PARDON.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1902. The Protestant Orphan Asylum, 1460 St. Clair street, Cleveland, O., has two very bright, promising baby boys for whom good homes are desired. Both are light colored, healthy and attractive. Geo. H. Turner has opened a shoeshop at No. 627 Central avenue, near Newton street. Our people should appreciate this opportunity to patronize one of our own class in business, especially since Mr. Turner is a shoemaker of 20 years' experience and guarantees the best material and workmanship, as cheap as any. Special attention is given the repair of ladies' and gentlemen's fine shoes. Tell your frineds to also patronize him. Don't pay the assessment asked for or any other money to the Douglass Automatic Grain and Straw Binder Co. until the alleged invention is patented. It has not been, according to the letter sent us from Washington, D. C., by the commissioner of patents and published recently in this paper. Read on your share of stock where it says "FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE." See the article relative to the Douglass assessment elsewhere in this paper. Our waiters are making a mistake in organizing a "colored" union. Join the union already in existence or none. The Irish, Jews, German, French, Italian and other nationalities, except ours, are members of the waiters' union already in existence. Do not be thus discriminated against. Demand and get the same treatment accorded others, or organize no separate ("Jim Crow") union. We get enough of that sort of thing from prejudiced whites without handing it to ourselves at their request. The recital given by Clarence C. White, violinist, at Forest street armory Monday evening was a success, notwithstanding the fact that a large number of his friends remained away on account of the smallpox "scare" which is more or less prevalent. The program was of a very high order, Mr. Tyler, Fred Hackley, Mrs. Walter Brown, J. Noble, the Imperial quartette and Robert Drake contributing creditably. Mr. White, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Connor, both of whom were guests of Mrs. Mary Taylor, left for Washington, D. C., Tuesday evening. Charged, with stealing jewelry worth more than $200. Bert Vincent, aged 23, a bellboy at the Hollenden, was arrested by Detectives Gilbride and De Celle Tuesday. Mrs. Louise Bailey, of New York, a guest at the hotel, missed the jewelry from her room several days ago. The detectives found a pair of gold buttons in Vincent's cuffs Monday. Mrs. Bailey identified them. Vincent said he had sold a ring to a friend for $1.50 and the detectives recovered it. The ring was set with a pearl worth $200. Besides the jewelry missing from Mrs. Bailey's room, a diamond stickpin worth $35 and other jewelry were found by the detectives and held waiting identification. In police court Tuesday Vincent waived examination and was bound over. He lives at 112 Harmon street. It is said "Little Willie" Clifford is here. Jere Brown arrived some time ago, and a few days ago was transferred to the local immigrant inspectorship from a clerkship in the departments at Washington, D. C. "Willie," "Little Willie," is to be transferred to a clerkship under Collector Leach, from a similar position he has held for a few months also in the Washington departments, so the story goes. These men, it is currently reported, are to "whip into line" all Afro-American voters of Cleveland and enroll them under Hanna's banner. Are we slaves of political slaves, or what? Wonder what "Little Willie" and Jere will use to "whip us in line" with, a "cowhide, blacksnake, boodle" or their "winning ways?" Let no intelligent, self-respecting Afro-American have anything to do with the alleged Republican League, with headquarters at Woodliff hall. It won't take much guessing to know who and what is behind it. Read carefully Rev. Bundy's interview in these columns. The Negro who can swallow those facts and then join in any Hanna league or club movements like Fulton's has little or no self or race respect. Let them severely alone. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor, of Sterling avenue, celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary and Mrs. Taylor's birthday last Tuesday night; Mrs. W. E. Clemens and Mrs. F. E. Brown, of Toledo, and Mrs. A. C. Cash, of St. Louis, were the guests from out the city. The following beautiful and useful presents were received: Punch bowl and glasses, Hiawatha club; half dozen Dresden china plates, Miss Mildred McCoy; Dresden china salad set, Rev. and Mrs. Chas. Bundy; beautiful bloodstone and moonstone ring, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Clemens; cut glass celery dish, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Brown; cut glass rose vase and berry dish, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Tracy, also of Toledo; cut glass ice cream dish, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Fairfax; Dresden china chocolate pot, Mr. and Mrs. John White; cut glass bonbon dishes, Mr. and Mrs. John Fairfax; beautiful nut dish, Mr. and Mrs. Priesley Robinson; Austrian glass olive dish, Mrs. M. Hackett and daughter; glass cream pitcher, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Braggs; two rose vases, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Tarrer; rockwood teapot, Miss Florence Scott; handsome silk umbrella, Mr. and Mrs. Jere Brown; china bonbon dish, Mrs. G. W. Sampson; china pickle dish, Miss Sallie Barnes; china vase, Dr. E. A. Dale; handsome gold watch and chain, Mr. Henry Taylor; pocketbook, Harold Taylor. Last Sunday afternoon's meeting of the Men's Auxiliary at Woodliff hall proved a "hot one." A subcommittee had secured a report from the Old Folk's Home association which one or two of its members styled incomplete and which in compliance with the express wishes of some of the women of the association had been tabled in both the subcommittee and Men's Auxiliary. Last Sunday afternoon about half of the members insisted upon a reading of the alleged report, and the others insisted upon acquiescing in the request for secrecy made by certain women of the association. A verbal fight ensued which resulted in one or more members of the auxiliary saying some very plain things about the continued delay of the officials of the association in publishing a report for the public and telling it what was done with that $950 (cash balance from the sale of the home, and insurance money paid after the fire in the Osborn street property). One of the members, Mr. Henry Taylor, stigmatized the action of the Men's Auxiliary and sub-committee in tabling the alleged report as outrageous, and announced while on his feet that he would have nothing more to do with the organization, demanding that they scratch his name off their list—so he informs The Gazette. The secrecy insistence of the officials of the Old Folk's Home association certainly leaves a bad impression generally. If nothing wrong has transpired in the conduct of the affairs of the Old Folk's Home there should not be much delay in getting out a printed report for the public and so much secrecy insistence. It was said that although the association elected officers some weeks ago, there was to be an annual election yesterday. It seems that the officers who relinquished their positions some weeks ago were elected for a year, but held over many months—so a member of the auxiliary informs The Gazette. Turn on the calcium light, gentlemen, and let that report come forth. There seems to be something out of the ordinary somewhere in the financial conduct of the home. Rev. Chas. Bundy, president of our local ministers' union, said a few days ago in an interview published in a daily paper that "the republican leaders have not treated us fairly, and we are disgusted. The colored people hold the balance of power, and they can have their rights if they demand them. We might as well begin the fight in this city as anywhere else, so we are preparing this open letter to colored voters. Our grievances are striking and of a nature to appeal to every colored voter. We have been disfranchised in several states of the south and the republican majority in congress refused to do anything. It also refused to legislate against the "Jim Crow" car laws of many southern states and against the monstrous cancerous crime, lynching. It passed the reapportionment bill increasing the congress representation of several of those 'disfranchising' southern states, when the federal law explicitly says it should be decreased in proportion to the number of citizens disfranchised. It also refused to do ANYTHING for my people and capped the climax when it re-enacted and amended the Chinese exclusion act, which robs every Afro-American of the citizen-right of testifying in the United States courts as a witness in certain cases. Then, too, Senator Hanna chairman of the national republican committee, appointed a democrat by the name of John G. Capers (white) a member of the national republican committee when he knew the great majority of the members of the state republican committee of South Carolina had indorsed for the place its chairman (Deas), an Afro-American, whom he also tied to prevent being elected to the chairmanship. Hanna and McKinley, and later on Roosevelt, recognized and recognizes southern democrats for appointment to the best federal positions in that section of the country and turn down loyal black republicans, thousands of whom in years gone by have been shot down in their tracks like so many mad dogs, simply because they sought and were trying to vote and support the republican party, now disgraced by such miserable, insulting and hurtful leadership. Here in Cleveland the black voter has not only been ignored and refused places, but insulted, and grossly, too, in ways too numerous to mention. It is simply an insult to any intelligent Afro-American for Hanna to approach him in the interest of the party or its candidates, when the treatment of his people by McKinley, Hanna, Roosevelt and the recent republican congress is remembered. The thing for the loyal local Afro-American to do this fall and next spring is to NOT vote the republican ticket whatever he does—if, indeed, he does anything in the way of voting." AMEN!

Four don in a Fifteen-Round Bout. New York City.—George Dixon made his bow before the British sports after an absence of many years before the National Athletic club, a new fistic organization of London, on Monday night. He met his old foeman, "Pedlar" Palmer, in a 15-round bout and lost the verdict on points. The "go" was for a purse of $500 and a side bet of $500. Dixon was the favorite of 5 to 4, but did not show the form he displayed years ago and was outclassed. Palmer was his superior in cleverness in almost every round and gave Dixon a good drubbing. Only in the 12th round did Dixon convince his backers that he had a chance of victory. In this round Palmer's hands, which were hurt, bothered him. But "Pedlar" stalled his rival off and kept his lead. Four-ounce gloves were used and the weight was 120 pounds. After Pritchard's Scalp. Wilmington, N. C.—As a result of being ruled out of the republican state convention at Greensboro, Afro-American delegates have launched a campaign against Senator Pritchard, and will have a convention of their own for further carrying out their plan to defeat him in his race for re-election to the senate. They held a meeting and denounced the state chairman (Pritchard) for unseating them. H. H. Taylor, a wealthy Afro-American from Warren county, says he would be in favor of lynching a "Negro" who would now vote the republican ticket. He predicted that Afro-Americans of his county and hundreds in Ohio would stay at home or vote the democratic ticket this fall. The anti-Pritchard movement promises to spread over the entire state, and a vast majority of our people who are qualified to vote will oppose the senator. School Children Draw Color Line. Evansville, Ind.—The city school board was called upon on the 8th to keep Mabel Smith from the Blankenberg school, a few miles from the city, on the grounds that her parents were colored people. White children refuse to attend the school if Mabel was permitted to do so. The girl lives at the orphan asylum and the matron insists that she is a white child. The truant officer has been called in to settle the dispute. The parents of the children say they will boycott the school, and the truant officer says he will prosecute them. Gatewood and Grimes, Attention!

One Strike. Rochester, N. Y.—Lightning struck Pitcher Cayward (white), of the Phelps baseball team, August 31, as he was in the act of delivering the ball. The players rushed to Cayward and raised him from the ground. They found that the ball, which he held in his right hand, had been torn to shreds by the bolt. Cayward regained consciousness and after rubbing his eyes finished the game. "Republican" Leader Removed by Roosevelt. Birmingham, Ala. — President Roosevelt has dismissed United States District Attorney Vaughn, of Alabama, on a charge of neglect of duty.

Shelbyville, Ky.—Fisher Million, a Negro convicted in the county court of vagrancy and ordered to be sold into servitude for a period of 12 months, was sold at public outcry by Deputy Sheriff Briggs, in front of the court house on the 6th to an Afro-American farmer, in the presence of a great crowd. The auction was a strong reminder of ante-bellum days. Low Rates to Boston, Mass. From Oct. 7th to 11th inclusive via the Nickel Plate Road. Tickets good to return until October 13th inclusive.

Y., Sept. 18.—It was announced yesterday at Cornell university that next year, for the first time in the history of the university, a woman student will enter the engineering department. The woman is Miss Nora Stanton Blatch, of London, England, and a granddaughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Alleged Embezzler Arrested. Burlington, Kan., Sept. 18.—James N. Cassady, of Council Bluffs, Ia., has been arrested at Waverly at the instance of a detective who claims to have traced him from Iowa, on a charge of embezzling $5,000 from the White River savings bank of Vermant, where he formerly lived. He has been placed in jail here. A Big Parade. Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 18.—Twenty-five thousand men yesterday participated in the parade incident to the annual convention of Odd Fellows. The Patriarchs Militant to the number of 3,000, commanded by Gen. M. A. Ramsey, of Iowa, headed the parade. Following were over 20,000 Odd Fellows. Cresceus Failed. Philadelphia, Sept. 18.—Cresceus, the king of trotting horses, failed in an effort to break the record here yesterday. The first attempt resulted in a break about 150 yards from the finish, the time for the mile being 2:08. The second attempt was a little better, the mile being trotted in 2:05. Two Miners Killed. Shawnee, Sept. 18.—Robert Jones, aged 24, and Andrew Gattens, aged 48, coal miners, were killed by falling rock in a mine. STOCKHOLDERS THREATENED. Wm. Douglass Sends Notice of a $4.25 Assessment on Each Share of "Full Paid and Non-Assessable" Stock of the Douglass Automatic Straw and Grain Hinder Co. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 21, 1902. The stockholders of the Douglass automatic straw and grain binder met on August 18 at St. Mark's church, Chicago, Ill., 47th and State streets, and they voted each stockholder to be taxed $4.25 on each share to secure the patents in foreign countries. The machine is in the patent office now in the United States. All stockholders are requested to meet at Mt. Zion Congregational church, Maple street, Tuesday evening, September 30, and pay assessments of $4.25 on each share they hold. All certificates forfeited if not paid on or before the 1st of October. WM. DOUGLASS, Pres., 532 Tremont street, Chicago, Ill. E. SCOTT, Secretary. 1871 Magnolia avenue, Chicago, Ill. It will be seen from the above that Mr. Douglass is threatening the share-holders of his automatic straw and grain binder company with a forfeiture of their stock unless a $4.25 assessment on each share of stock is paid by October 1. He is doing this in the face of the fact that each share of stock bears the inscription "FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE," and also in spite of the additional fact that stock to the amount of many times the sum necessary to procure the American and foreign patents on his alleged invention has been sold during the past half dozen or more years in Chicago, Cleveland and elsewhere. We again notify stockholders in this Douglass company that it is high time to call a halt and that some one of them who has paid cash for the share or shares they hold, as a matter of protection to themselves and other stockholders, should take the matter into the courts. We advise every stockholder in this community to hold their money and NOT put another cent into the thing until Mr. Douglass patents his alleged invention. We do not believe that the law will permit him to cause a forfeiture of stock in event of a refusal to pay the $4.25 assessment. It would be a good idea for the local stockholders to hold a meeting as soon as possible (within a week or two) and decide upon the proper course to pursue. In any event, do not pay the $4.25 per share demanded. You don't have to do so and ought not to be asked to pay it according to the inscription we have called attention to relative to each share being "FULL PAID AND NON-ASSESSABLE." Explain this to all of your friends who are stockholders in the company and urge them to hold a meeting as soon as possible. PERSONAL GOSSIP. Queen Wilhelmina does not have to depend upon the royal allowance for support. Her private fortune is one of the largest among European monarchs. A colored physician of high character and skill, Dr. Samuel Patterson Stafford, has received the appointment of government physician at the Yakima Indian reservation, state of Washington. Lord Avesbury, better known as Sir John Lubbock, the scientist, has been teaching his dog to read. He has progressed so far that "Van" finds a card with "out" printed on it when he wishes to go for a walk, and picks out other words in the same fashion. The school trustees of Summit Hill, Pa., have elected as a director one Jack Bonner, a middle weight prize fighter. He has many admirers in the town, and the school trustees declare he will make a satisfactory director of the educational affairs of the district. New Orleans is to have a home for orphan boys, built out of funds bequeathed by the late George Xavier Carstairs. Mr. Carstairs was himself orphaned while very young and had a hard struggle with the world. He accumulated a large fortune, however, all of which he has left for the purpose indicated. Four million dollars is the sum annually left in Paris by visiting Americans, according to a writer in the Petit Parisien. Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes is credited with spending $20,000 a year on gowns purchased there and Mrs. Mackay sometimes orders $10,000 or $15,000 worth at a time. Among male customers the best are said to be Morgan, Carnegie, Schwab and Vanderbilt. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SAYS. The country districts are those in which we are surest to find the old American spirit. If a man will submit to being carried that is sufficient to show that he is not worth carrying. A man to be a good citizen must first be a good breadwinner, a good husband, a good father. The man who lives simply and justly and honorably, whether rich or poor, is a good citizen. In the long run the only kind of help that really avails is the help which teaches a man to help himself. Hardness of heart is a dreadful quality, but it is doubtful whether, in the long run, it works more damage than softness of head Material prosperity without the moral lift toward righteousness means a diminished capacity for happiness and a debased character. Everyone of us slips on some occasion, and shame to his fellow who then refuses to stretch out the hand that should always be ready to help the man who stumbles. The true line of cleavage lies between the good citizen and the bad citizen, and the line of cleavage may, and often does, run at right angles to that which divides the rich and the poor. ITEMS OF INDUSTRY. The steamer Thyra recently took a cargo of 51,931 barrels of flour from Portland, Ore. It has been shown from testing that belting made from the middle of the hide is much stronger than that made from the shoulders. What is to be the largest cotton mill in the world is to be located soon near Kansas City, Mo. The investment will reach about $10,000,000. Agricultural produce and articles manufactured therefrom valued at £4,400,000 were imported into Natal last year. This was exclusive of military supplies. What Newspaper Do You Read?

The best guarantee of the future is the record of the past, and over fifty thousand people have publicly testified that Doan's Kidney Pills have cured them of numerous kidney ills, from common backache to dangerous diabetes, and all the attendant annoyances and sufferings from urinary disorders. They have been cured to stay cured. Here is one case: Samuel J. Taylor, retired carpenter, residing at 312 South Third St., Goshen, Ind., says: "On the 25th day of August, 1897. I made an affidavit before Jacob C. Mann, notary public, stating my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. I had suffered for thirty years and was compelled at times to walk by the aid of crutches, frequently passed gravel and suffered excruciatingly. I took every medicine on the market that I heard about, and some gave me temporary relief. I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and the results I gave to the public in the statement above referred to. At this time, on the 19th day of July, 1902, I make this further statement, that during the five years which have elapsed I have had no occasion to use either Doan's Kidney Pills or any other medicine for my kidneys. The cure effected was a permanent one." A FREE TRIAL of this great Kidney medicine which cured Mr. Taylor will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

Montgomery, a Princeton graduate, bought some peaches the other day. He bit into one and discovered the following note in the pit: "This peach grew on my father's farm at Little Rocky Hill. His name is Mr. Job Hunt and my name is Miss Caroline Hunt. My address is Kingston, N. J. Whoever eats this peach let him please write to me and tell me how it tasted. I hope a nice-looking young man eats it, and I hope he is single, and that I may see him some day." The note was found neatly rolled up in the heart of the pit, which was split. It had been inserted through a small hole that had been left when the stem was removed. Mr. Montgomery is a single man, but he has not decided whether to write to Miss Hunt. TRACING GREAT WATERSHEDS. Geological Survey Engaged, in Examining Water Bearing Rocks in the Great Plains. The geological survey is engaged in an examination of the water-bearing rocks in the great plains between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains for the purpose of indicating the distance of underground streams and reservoirs, from the surface, and the depth of the wells necessary to reach them. From careful study of well-boring and other geological phenomena of the region it has been discovered that extensive water-bearing strata underlie the whole plains region and are bent upward and reach the surface on the eastern flanks of the Rocky and Big Horn mountains, and in the Black Hills uplift.

PINKHAM:—When I passed through what is known as 'change of life,' I had two years' suffering,—sudden heat, and as quick chills would pass over me; my appetite was variable and I never could tell for MRS. E. SAILER, President German Relief Association, Los Angeles, Cal. a day at a time how I would feel the next day. Five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed all that, my days became days of health, and I have enjoyed every day since—now six years. "We have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our charitable work, as we find that to restore a poor mother to health so she can support herself and those dependent upon her, if such there be, is truer charity than to give other aid. You have my hearty endorsement, for you have proven yourself a true friend to suffering women."—Mrs. E. SAILER, 756% Hill St., Los Angeles, Cal.—$5000 forfelt if above testimonial is not genuine. No other person can give such helpful advice to women who are sick as can Mrs. Pinkham, for no other has had such great experience—her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice free—if you are sick write her—you are foolish if you don't.

They Come From Many Parts of the Earth. Information of Recent Date Collected in Various Ways and Condensed For the Convenience of Fire at Prentice, Wis., recently burned out one whole block and part of another. According to reports from all parts of England the heavy rains lately, coming on top of an exceptionally wet summer, have seriously damaged the crops. The strike at the J. G. Brill car works at Philadelphia has been declared off, after 13 weeks' duration. The men struck because 22 men had been discharged and the employes claimed the discharges were made because the men were unionists. The audience at one of the theaters at Malaga, Spain, was thrown into an uproar by a gendarme, who drew his revolver and fired indiscriminately. Seven persons were killed outright and nine were injured. The gendarme was shot by the police, as he refused to surrender. Joseph Bruski and Joseph Kierzek, of Posen, Mich., were found dead on the floor of a room in the Newman house at Ann Arbor, Mich. From letters in the pockets of the men it is evident that Kierzek had come to Ann Arbor to have his eyes treated. It is supposed that they got up in the night and turned on the natural gas, thinking it would produce light. George Lutz, engineer; James J. Dooley, fireman, and Walter Weber, conductor, were blown out of the cab of a locomotive which exploded on the Pennsylvania railroad just west of Jersey City. Lutz was killed and the others were seriously scalded and bruised. No cause for the explosion has been discovered. Stephen McCormick, said to have been the oldest employee of New York City in point of service, and the oldest member of Tammany Hall, is dead. Bitten by a fly two weeks ago, George Lindhurst, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is dead. The physicians pronounce it an extraordinary case. Lindhurst was bitten on the thumb of his right hand. Three days later swelling began and spread rapidly. The doctors declared the fly bite had caused blood poisoning which they could not check and the victim died in great agony. Capt. W. Andrews, who twice crossed the Atlantic in a 15-foot shell, has been pronounced legally dead by the Massachusetts courts. Capt. Andrews sailed October 6 last from Atlantic City with his bride, to whom he had been married in the presence of 3,000 people. The boat was sighted only once—about a week after it sailed. Charles B. Andrews, ex-chief justice df the supreme court of Connecticut, is dead at Litchfield, Conn. High records for New York stock exchange seats have been broken by the purchase of a membership for an unknown western man for $81,000. In addition to this sum, $1,000 will be the price of initiation. Santa Fe passenger train No. 608 collided with a freight train at Truby, Col., and three members of the passenger train's crew were killed and another perhaps fatally injured. Ridgeview camp meeting grounds at Millwood, a few miles east of Derry, Pa., were visited by a mysterious and fierce fire, which destroyed 45 cottages, the hotel and a store. Two of the most disastrous fires that ever raged in the forests of Montana are destroying millions of feet of fine timber. A mail train running 205 miles from Madris, India, dashed over a bridge which had been undermined by floods. Fifty passengers, included among whom were eight Europeans and four soldiers, were drowned. Twenty-five persons were saved from the wreck. Senor Juvier Swayne, who was prominently identified with the sugar interests of Peru, is dead, at Lima, Peru. William H. Baldwin, formerly secretary of the National Steel Co., has donated $25,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a building for a free kindergarten at Youngstown, O. After being entirely blind for seven years, Mrs. Julia Morowski, of Trenton, N. J., has had a momentary glimpse of her husband and six children when the bandages were lifted from her eyes. An operation was performed two weeks ago, and when the bandages were removed, for the first time she saw her youngest child, born after she became blind. President Roosevelt has issued an order closing the departments in Washington on the day of the G. A. R. parade during the encampment there next month. After an expenditure of $21,000,000 and the sacrifice of 24 human lives the rapid transit subway under construction in New York City is exactly three-fifths completed. The Vatican has definitely decided to send Rev. Diomede Falconio to Washington as papal delegate in the United States. Mgr. Falconio is now apostolic delegate for the Dominion of Canada. Rev. Charles R. Carley, rector of St. Mary's Catholic church at Yonkers, N. Y., said to be one of the wealthiest between New York and Albany, in a sermon has denounced women who go hatless to church. He declared the practice to be a violation of the church rules. Justice Steckler, of the supreme court of New York, has handed down a decision affecting hotels, restaurants and other places which maintain private cab stands. The court declared that no hotel proprietor, property owner or private citizen has the right to dispose of the privilege of the curb. The price of soft coal in Chicago has risen to $9 a ton, as compared with $3.75 on September 1. Anthracite coal is practically unobtainable, and is quoted by some dealers as high as $25 a ton. The sudden advance in prices is attributed to the demand caused by the cold weather. The wireless telegraph experiments which have recently been conducted by the navy department between Washington and Annapolis, Md., have not met with great success, much interference in the shape of intersecting trolley lines and other obstacles to communication having been encountered. Forest fires are now burning in every county of western Washington from British Columbia to the Columbia river. The towns of Elma and Folsom, in Chehalls county, have been partly destroyed. Each was the center of large logging, lumber and shingle mill industries. For many miles along the Wyoming-Colorado line, north of Pearl, Col., a furious forest fire is raging, devastating everything in its path. Every effort to subdue the flames has been exhausted without effect. Capt. Charles Barr, who sailed the Columbia against the Lipton challenger, Shamrock HL, will again serve the New York Yacht club next year in the international match, as he did last year. A benefit entertainment for the striking coal miners, given under the direction of the Central Labor union of Hartford, Conn., netted $1,000. A split in the republican convention of the Tenth congressional district at Scranton, Pa., resulted in two nominations—William Connell (the incumbent) and George Howell. Six additional cases of cholera, including one death from that disease, have developed on board the United States transport Sherman, at Nagasaki, Japan. All the sufferers are enlisted men. John Hendrickson, who assumed the name of Cox in seeking work after having been imprisoned, and thereby violated a state law, has been sentenced to 60 days in jail at New York City. Mrs. J. W. Johnston, wife of a sergeant of the army recruiting station at Joplin, Mo., died on a train between Joplin and Kansas City from poison taken with suicidal intent. Grief because her husband had been detailed to service in the Philippines is said to have caused the act. Mrs. Minnie Robinson, aged 36, of Elrod, Ind., was shot and fatally wounded by her father-in-law, E. A. Ream. The bullet that struck her was intended for her husband, it is said, as the latter and Ream had been quarreling. R. E. Wright, of Allentown, Pa., has been elected deputy grand sire by the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows, in session at Des Moines, Ia. The chief contest was over this office, as by custom, the grand deputy sire will be chosen grand sire at the next meeting. The Kentucky state board of valuation and assessment has assessed for the purpose of franchise taxation all private car lines of the United States which railroad reports show operate through that state, 13 in number. The assessment was an arbitrary one and will be resisted in the courts. A dispatch from Piggott, Ark., says arrangements have been made for a big wolf drive in which all the people will participate. The animals have exterminated the hogs in the surrounding country, have decimated the poultry and have even invaded the suburbs of towns. The North German Lloyd steamer Kranprinz Wilhelm has arrived at New York from Bremen, Southampton and Cherbourg, beating all westward records. The Kronprinz Wilhelm left Cherbourg at 9:10 p. m. on September 10 and arrived at the Sandy Hook lightship at 4:07 a. m. September 16, making the run of 3,047 miles in 5 days, 11 hours and 57 minutes, at an average speed of 23.09 knots per hour. Nine Chinamen, who it is alleged were smuggled from Rose Hill, on the Canadian shore, and landed at Woodlawn Beach, ten miles west of Buffalo, have been captured at Dunkirk by Inspector Pierce. They were taken to Buffalo. In searching the Chinamen papers were found which may lead to important arrests. A large number of Chinamen have recently entered this country illegally in the vicinity of Buffalo. It is officially announced that no nominations will be made of democratic candidates for congress from the six districts in the vicinity of Philadelphia. Every electric line, with one exception, was tied up recently at Ottumwa, Ia., by a strike of motormen and conductors, out of sympathy with the linemen of the Ottumwa Traction Light Co. The price of bottles from the factories in Indiana with a possible exception of one, will be increased 10 per cent., as soon as the new schedule of prices can be announced to the trade. Seven persons are reported dead in the Kiamtia, Indian Territory, from inhaling Paris green, which had been applied to worm-infested cotton plants. Owing to the high price of coal many Kansas farmers will burn corn this winter. Corn will be plentiful and as there is an abundance of alfalfa and sorghum for feed, corn will be utilized for heating purposes. Kansans have not burned corn since the last seventies. The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America has decided to contribute $10,000 to aid the anthracite coal strikers in Pennsylvania. The Navajo tribe of Indians in Arizona, numbering 20,000 men, women and children, is rapidly approaching a starvation period and unless speedy and substantial aid is rendered by the government, the people fear that fearful damage and great loss of life will occur. Mines on New river (West Virginia) are increasing their output daily and are working about half the regular force. Miners are being forced out of the company houses every day. The strike of electrical workers at Ottumwa, Ia., which had been on for two weeks, has been settled. The union was recognized and an increase in wages granted. The board of education at Eldorado, Ill., where a race war has been raging since July and where Gov. Yates stationed a detachment of the Illinois national guard, has discontinued the department of the schools heretofore kept open for colored pubils. This action was taken as no pupils appeared. The official report of the trial of the battleship Maine has been received at the navy department. Her uncorrected speed was 17.96 knots. Her tidal allowances brought the speed up to 17.98, but the board found other conditions which warranted it in fixing her speed at 18 knots, which is her contract speed. During the last few months at least 250,000 acres of public land in the mineralized sections of California have been grabbed by eastern speculators through the employment of dummy locaters. In the tracts thus secured are included many actual mineral claims on which California miners have located. At Roanoke, Va., Mabel Carroll, aged 15, shot and instantly killed her aunt, Mrs. William Emerick, in the Emerick home. Mrs. Emerick was standing at a bureau dressing when the girl snapped a revolver, which she claims she did not know was loaded. Mrs. Emerick died instantly. A coroner's jury exonerated Miss Carroll of all blame. The Two Great Parties Make Nominations. Massachusetts Democrats Select Col Gaston for Governor - Republicans in New Hampshire and Connecticut Endorse President Roosevelt. Boston, Sept. 18.—Acrimony was not wanting for a time in the democratic state convention at Tremont Temple yesterday, but in the end harmony was restored and the state ticket was enthusiastically greeted. The ticket follows: For governor, William A. Gaston, of Boston; Heutenant governor, John C. Crosby, of Pittsfield; secretary of state, Willmore B. Stone, of Springfield; treasurer, Thomas C. Thacher, of Yarmouth. It might be said that in naming Col. Gaston to head the ticket precedent was shattered, inasmuch as he was nominated and then given a platform of his own dictation. Not unlike the famous conventions of 1836 and 1900, the fight was over the national issues on the platform. The test of strength was between Col. Gaston on one hand and George Fred Williams, once the stalwart leader of the silver democrats, on the other. In this battle Mr. Williams was utterly routed, with the predicted result that he is shorn of all power of leadership. The platform adopted is a repudiation of the Kansas City platform, for Mr. Gaston refused to be the nominee if in any way the declaration of principles could be construed to endorse those things most prominently advocated by the party in the last two national campaigns. The convention opened with trouble brewing. It came soon after Mr. Gaston's nomination, when the matter of platform was brought up. The battle from the floor was one of bitter words, during which delegates, objecting to Mr. Williams' sarcastic references to the last five planks in the platform, which he said were placed there at Mr. Gaston's solicitation, hissed and cried him down. Throughout the tumult the speaker exultantly surveyed the throng and when order was restored concluded his speech. The minority report was utterly defeated. Concord, N. H., Sept. 18.—Following the action of the party in Vermont, the republicans of New Hampshire, in state convention yesterday, warmly debated the question of making changes in the prohibitory law. Those in favor of a change carried the day. The contest for governor was won by Nahum J. Batcheldor, of Andover, who is prominently identified with the Patrons of Husbandry. Gen. Stephen H. Gale, of Exeter, withdrew before the nominations were called for, and Mr. Batcheldor was chosen by acclamation. No other candidates are nominated by state conventions in New Hampshire. The platform adopted endorsed the administration on all points and favors the renomination of President Roosevelt. Illegal combines are condemned and one plank opposes the indiscriminate destruction of forests. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 18.—Abram Chamberlain, of Meriden, the present state comptroller, was yesterday nominated by the Connecticut republican convention as a candidate for governor to succeed Gov. George P. McLean, who on account of ill health had declined to be a candidate for another term. Mr. Chamberlain was opposed for the nomination by Livingston W. Cleveland, of New Haven, who, however, was defeated on the first ballot, receiving only 158 votes, while Mr. Chamberlain had 343. Resolutions endorsing the administration of President Roosevelt and favoring his nomination for the presidency in 1904 were adopted. Has an Abundance of Money. Washington, Sept. 18.—The treasury department has received the following from a bank in western Illinois, which had free bonds on hand at the time of the secretary's request to banks to deposit such bonds with the treasurer and accept government deposits thereon: "We have your letter of September 13, and in reply will say that we see no advantage that will accrue to us by making the change you mention. We have more money than we know what to do with. Every bank in the west has money to invest in any legitimate channel." Emperor Won a Sham Battle. Berlin, Sept. 18.—The naval maneuvers were ended yesterday by the hostile fleet, under the command of the emperor, who was on board the imperial yacht Hohenzolllern, forcing an entry into the Elbe, defeating the German fleet and breaking up a line of submarine mines. Wireless telegraphy was used more completely during this year's naval maneuvers than ever before and with good results. It was seen, however, that the wireless system was not absolutely reliable under all conditions. Strikers and Militiamen Clash. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 18.—A strike of employees of the Hudson Valley electric railway has been in progress for some time, and the system has been completely tied up. Wednesday the sheriff of Warren county called out the company of state militia at Glens Falls to protect the power house of the railway company situated between Glens Falls and Sandy Hill. Several encounters between strikers and militiamen and deputies occurred. The "Baby" Barked. London, Sept. 18.—One of the most ingenious attempts on record to evade the payment of customs duties occurred yesterday at Dover, when a smartly dressed young woman landed from the Ostend steamer, carrying in her arms what was ostensibly a baby in long clothes. As the young woman was passing the customs officials, the "baby" barked and an investigation disclosed that the supposed infant was in reality a valuable dog which the woman was endeavoring to smuggle in in contravention of the strict English customs regulations. Absorbed by Morgan's Combine. London, Sept. 18.—A news agency says that the Norfolk and North American Steam Shipping Co., owning nine large steamers trading between England and the United States in connection with the Lehigh Valley and Reading railroads, has been taken over by the Morgan shipping combine. Pay Car Wrecked. Logansport, Ind., Sept. 18.—The Vandalia pay car, on its way to Terre Haute, was wrecked yesterday by dashing into an open switch which, it is believed, was thrown by would-be robbers. HE REMOVED THE BODY. The Stage Villain Does a Little Bit of Original Work at a Critical Moment. Many scenes "not down on the bills" are enacted on the stage of the theater and some of them are ludicrous in the extreme. One night in a sensational drama Mr. Sparling, an English actor of considerable note, had to be shot at the end of the first act and to die with much promptness "down stage." He was on a platform about twice the size of an ordinary billiard table, and, being a youth of many inches, died so far forward that the curtain could not be lowered without leaving his legs exposed to view. "Pull your legs in!" hissed the hideously inartistic stage manager from the wings. But the dead man was far too conscientious and realistic to play so vile a trick upon Dramatic Art—with both its capitals—and so laid placid and stiff. (As Mr. Sparling afterward explained to the stage manager: "Dead men don't pull in their legs.") The curtain might have been up now had it not been for the presence of mind of the "heavy man," who had previously done the deed, for he walked across the stage in a couple of strides—in spite of having already made good his final escape from justice—and, contemplating the body for a moment with arms folded and one leg forward, after the fashion of the cardboard brigands of old, exclaimed: "Ha, ha! he is dead! But now to remove the body higher up, that suspicion may not rest on me!" Whereupon he lugged the murdered mariner up the stage a couple of yards—at the same time looking up to see that the curtain would clear the corpse's feet—and once more fled from the scene of the tragedy. HOWELL'S HUMOR Funny Story Related by Him in Reproval of an Overardent Admirer. William Dean Howells has no considerable reputation as a teller of humorous stories, but once in a while an excellent yarn is attributed to him. It was provoked by the action of a young author who had been a protege of Howell's and who when he "arrived" never lost an opportunity to say something nice of Howells. On one occasion the younger author made an address before a body of literary men in which he virtually asserted, that, everything good and great in native literature owed its inspiration to Howells. The address was printed far and wide and commented on at length, not always in a manner complimentary to ias author. Mr. Howells' attention was naturally called to the matter and he wrote his protege a letter in which he involved a story of two men who, bathing at the seashore, were seen struggling and heard crying for help. A crowd gathered to watch the efforts of the life guards, who could hear above the roar of the ocean and the noise made by the crowd a voice bellowing: "Save the red-haired man! Save him first! The red-haired man, sure! Both men were saved and the guards, going after the excitable fellow on the beach in the hope of a gratuity, asked: "Red-head chap relation o' yours, sir!" "No—no relative at all," he replied, "but he owes me $19." DECEIVED BY ITS LOOKS. Half-Inflated Balloon Was Taken by a Negro Soldier for General Shafter. Some army officers who were in Cuba with Gen. Shafter's army of invasion told the other day an anecdote at the expense of the commander of that expedition. The troops with all their paraphernalia of war had landed and were awaiting the order to advance on Santiago. Staff officers were busy carrying out the details for the advance and everywhere there was hurry and bustle. Shafter was lying in a hammock in front of his headquarters at Siboney, while 100 yards down the road the men of the signal corps were inflating the war balloon preparatory to making the first ascension. Without warning the ropes which held it captive parted and the balloon, half-inflated and looking for all the world like the body and legs of a gigantic fat man, started down the road toward Santiago. There was just enough gas in it to keep it upright without entirely clearing the ground and it went bobbing along, up and down, as though it were walking. A negro soldier passing along at that moment saw the balloon and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hi, dar! Guess dat mus' be de ole man goin' fur de front!" "Faint Heart" Won. "I can never marry you," said the beautiful blonde. "But," pleaded the wealthy old man, "won't you make my life happy for the short years I will be here? I am troubled with a weak and faint heart." "In that case I accept you." And yet they say faint heart never won fair lady—Nashville American. The Skin and the Graft. "Truly," says the patient who is being skin-grafted, "surgical science is a wonderful thing." "It is," says the friend who is helping out with the required skin. "First they skin me and then they graft you; but after you get well and they send in the bill you'll find that you've been skinned for their graft."—Judge.

Nothing can induce those who have once used these great skin purifiers and beautifiers to use any others. Sold throughout the world. British Depot: F.
